Benefits of Craniofacial Orthodontics

  • Improved function and health: Craniofacial orthodontics addresses not only aesthetic concerns but also functional challenges, such as difficulty in chewing, speaking, or breathing, improving overall quality of life.
  • Enhanced self-confidence: Correcting facial anomalies can significantly boost self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings.
  • Comprehensive expertise: Working closely with other specialists, craniofacial orthodontics provides holistic treatment plans that tackle complex issues with precision and care.
  • Long-term outcomes: Early intervention through expert craniofacial orthodontics can pave the way for lasting dental and facial health, reducing the need for future corrective surgeries.

Procedures Offered

  • Cleft LIp and Palate - Patients with cleft lip and palate often require specialized orthodontic treatment to address the alignment of teeth and support proper jaw growth. We work hand-in-hand with surgeons and medical teams to prepare patients for surgical interventions and ensure optimal long-term results.
  • Surgical Orthodontics (Orthognathic Surgery). For those with severe jaw misalignments or discrepancies, we offer surgical orthodontics in coordination with oral surgeons to enhance facial symmetry and functionality. This includes preparing the teeth and jaw for surgery and post-surgical orthodontic alignment.
  • Nasoalveolar Molding Device (NAM). The NAM device is a pre-surgical solution for infants born with cleft lip and palate, helping to mold the gums, lip, and nostrils into better alignment prior to corrective surgery. This approach improves surgical outcomes and reduces the need for extensive corrections later in life.

Are You a Good Candidate for Craniofacial Orthodontics

Craniofacial orthodontics may be recommended for patients with congenital facial or jaw anomalies, such as cleft lip and palate, or those who require surgical orthodontics to address significant jaw misalignments. Early assessments are especially crucial for children with craniofacial concerns, as timely intervention can significantly impact growth and development.
